I mean there are a lot of American, but also some European, some Latin and there is of course African America. Yet when have you ever turned on and seen an Asian group? Where are they and why do you think there are none popular in America?

doubts and questions magically disappear? Does one then "feed their faith" by participating in repetative ritual rather than approaching it with logic?

I would like your thoughtful responses on this thoughful question.

big gold crucifixes? Do you really think jesus would want you walking around with something that probably cost enough to feed a few homeless/poor for the day? Would that not go against everything he taught? Or the giant ornate gold bibles, is this in anyway what jesus preached? I remeber a lot of abandon everything you own and not a lot of "bling" in his preaching.

If jesus came back today (lets just put reality aside here for now) i think a lot of "good christians" would be surprised where jesus sent them.

Sorry, this is just really hard to wrap my head around...

It seems that people are rationalizing the fact that God sent 2 bears to rip FORTY TWO "youths" (which apparently means 18-20 year olds) to shreds for making fun of a prophet.

So..... once again, just checking, if you're a 20 year old "youth" & you say something stupid to an important person, you deserve to be mauled to death by bears...... right?

discover new evidence that would in turn cause your to reject your past presumptions and instead take new ones?

Basically, (in relation to religion), would (atheists) seek to discover evidence as to the existence of a sentient primal mover or (theists) the non-existence of such a cause?

Dont you just hate it when you get some religious people knocking on your door and wanting to save you from the fire of hell. I got a knock from a christian denomination (man and woman) who came inside my house to discuss christianity and what it means. After listening to them i asked questions and pointed a contradiction in the bible relating to Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac. It is clear that Ishmael is the oldest son of the two. But in the bible - God says to Abraham - take your ONLY son Isaac and sacrifice him. But Isaac wasnt his ONLY son - Ishmael was his son too.
This is just one example that i gave them in regards to many. Now i told them that it is aparent that SOMEONE throughout the 2000 years of christianinty has been tampering with it and has changed the message to suit their own needs thus the claim that the bible is not the same as the one sent 2000 years ago. When i pointed this out to them - they thanked me for my time and made excuses to leave. What do you people think?

more than the teachings of Jesus. This is something I find difficult to understand. Not being nasty, or anything but just cant figure it out. Does anyone feel the same as me, or am I the only one. I mean the rest of us follow Jesus Christ, or am I missing something.

Here's how it's translated in the KJV:

23) And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

24) And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

And here's how it's translated in the NIV:

23) From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said. "Go on up, you baldhead!"

24) He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.

I've gotta know... does it REALLY matter whether these "youths" were "children" (roughly ages 5-12) or "young adults: (roughly ages 13-17)?

Have you picked up on any wierd characteristics of humans, their very predictable too me because their all so much alike.

2007-08-03 12:33:28 · 10 answers · asked by Sean 7 in Religion & Spirituality

I think that 2,000 years after a death of a life, we are putting too much blame and hatrid on people for something that they didnt do. Some christians do not like jews because they believe that they killed jesus. I believe otherwise, but, even if they did kill jesus, DOES IT MATTER!

does not the very bible you preach say in Ezekiel 18:20 it states, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him."

So, i myself did not kill jesus (i am jewish), so why does everyone always have to note how i killed jesus? i really think that people should practice what they preach. I dont know jesus, but i bet that he wouldnt want people to hate others for thousands of years because he died. he would want everyone to be happy and peaceful together.

The whole reason Jehovah commented that he was One God was for the purpose of bringing back the Isrealites to the relization that he was not to be likend to the Egyptian gods that always came in sets of threes. he was a single entity.He did not want his people becoming converted into believing in a diety godhead like the Egyptians. Which is what many are doing today that claim to worship Jehovah the god of the bible.They still push the belief of a trinitarian god on Jehovah.
sad.
this is not really a question but an observance of how some of you may respond.
